mated
I finally asked my wife if she knew where the chess set was hiding. She said “I don’t know…it is over there under that box.” She didn’t know where it was, but told me exactly where to find it…go figure. All the pieces are glass, so I needed to figure an interesting way to shoot it. I used some of the tips that I read for shooting bottles and it was working, but it just wasn’t doing it for me. It needed something. I tried changing the color of the light, but it was a little too much.
Then I tried something…something a little more subtle, and it fucking worked great. At least I think it worked. What do you think?






we have that same chess set! I like the way it looks. what’s the reddish tint from?

The red is reflection from a piece of red poster board.
